As part of efforts to surmount the security challenges in Oyo State, the Chairman of Oorelope Local Government, Akeem Adepoju Raheem, on Friday, presented five new Bajaaj Motorcycles to the vigilante corps and local hunters in the council.
He urged them to double their operational tactics in a bid to achieve the desired goals of securing the council, advising that the motorcycles were not personal properties, but tools meant for patrol by all the vigilantes and local hunters.
Speaking during the event held at the local government secretariat and attended by community and political leaders, Raheem maintained that the procurement and presentation of the motorbikes were in conformity with the directive of Governor Seyi Makinde that local government chairmen must step up to the plate on security.
He assured the vigilantes and local hunters that more motorcycles were expected to enhance efficient regular security operations, urging them to always comport themselves in responsible manner so as to avoid penalties.
The chairman also charged the vigilantes and residents of the local government to dial the state’s Security Code 615 whenever there are security challenges, warning, however, that the number must not be toyed with.
